Moving Categories

System Administrators can move (e.g. change the parent category) categories.

  • In this article, the term "move" means changing the parent category of a category. If you want to sort (change the order in which the categories appear), refer to the Sorting Categories article.
  • If you only want to move a single category, we recommend you use the step-by-step guide outlined in the Modifying Categories article. This article is better suited for moving categories in bulk.

Step-by-step Guide

To move a category:

  1. Go to Site Administration > Courses > Manage Courses and Categories
  2. Select the categories you want to move
  3. In the "Move selected categories to" section, select the category you want to move the selected categories to
  4. Click on the "Move" button

In the screenshot below, the System Administrator is moving the "Clinical Courses" and "Non-clinical Courses" to the "Online" course categories.

Important Notes

  • If you are assigned the role of Course Creator in the context of a course category (e.g. you are a Course Creator in the "Online" category only), then you must navigate to that category in order to move its sub-categories. There will be limitations regarding where you can move sub-categories based on your permissions.
